My interpretation of what is being said is:
Burly=heavy and built to take some downhiller pounding
Its gonna make you work pretty hard for just cruising around and if you have some climbing to do, lets hope you got lungs the size of a zeppelin.
If its pretty cherry and you want to be a downhiller, as dminor says, its probably a reasonable price. From the way you asked this question, I don't think this is a good bike for you.
